Letters have reached tbe Amor;can D.,

Letters have reached the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, in
Boston, picturing terrible condition of affairs
among the people of the Cilician Plain, Asia
Minor. Large numbers of the people are
starving, and the source of food supply has
been exhausted. About 1900 families are
being fed. The board has decided to make
an appeal for funds with which to alleviate
the distress. Numbers of people are kept
alive by eating grass, roots, berries and small
fruits. Families will need aid to enable them
to live until next harvest.

A Strong Ticket.

The Democratic County Convention las
Monday was composed of delegates more in
tent upon the good of the party and the wei
fare ofthe county than in furthering individ-
ual ambitions and the result of their work is
quite satisfactory to the party throughout the
county. No ticket has been presented for
some years that has been so well received,
and the standing and capacity of the nomi-
nees, and the manner in which they were
nominated, all tend to make the ticket strong
and acceptable.
The ticket is an excellent one from top to
bottom, and the party should now prepare to
give it a large majority on November Sth.
An acceptable ticket is liable to suffer from
over. confidence. From that cause the Dem
ocrats of Virginia lost several congressman
last year, and some in other states, and many
more came near being defeated in heavily
Democratic districts. So many Democrats
concluded their votes would not be needed
and remained at home on election day, Re-
publican minorities scored victories and the
Democratic majority in the House was some
what reduced. There is n considerable Dem
ocratic majority in Carroll, but the only way
to make that majority count, is to poll full
party vote Not only is the ticket entitled to
every Democratic vote, but every vote is
needed to help along the state ticket.
The contests this year are preliminary to
the greater one next. The results in Novem-
Der will have a strong bearing upon the Pres
idental election, and Maryland Democrats
should roll up large majority in order to
encourage the party elsewhere. If Maryland
should be lost through over confidence, the
effect would be depressing upon the hopes of
the Democracy elsewhere, just as the Demo
Gratis of Maryland have had their courage
driven out by disasters in other states on the
eve of a Presidential contest.
Let us resolve, then, to do our whole duty.
Let the local ticket be elected by an over
whelming vote, and let us roll up an UMPIRE
cedented majority for the state ticket. The
Republican party is now battling for existence,
in order to make contest for the Presidency.
If it is beaten this year, halfthe battle ofnext
year will have been won.

II has been said that at the reception of
President and Mrs Cleveland at Philadelphia.
Mrs. Cleveland snubbed Gov. Foraker and
Mrs. Foraker by not shaking hands with
them, and only coldly bowling when they were
presented. The master of the ceremonies
denies the accusation, but for some days the
press have published statements on both sides.
The people, it is probable, care not a whit
about the matter. Gov. Foraker, in his puolic
speeches, has been severe in denouneing
President Cleveland and his Administration,
and in one public utterance compared the
President to "a whipped .spaniel." The
man who would thus describe the Chief
Magistrate, and then have the effrontery to
20 to reception and offer his hand, isscarcely
capable of being snubbed, and for this reason
not much importance is attached to the report.

The battle-hags are still being sent back,
notwithstanding the howls of Foraker, Tut
tie and Fairchild, but they are returned Gom
the South to the north. On last Saturday
Col. Thomas 7. Jones, of the Second Regi-
ment of Alabama state troops, sent to the
Governor of Connecticut a flag captured from
the Sixteenth Connecticut volunteers at Ply
mouth, N. c., on the 10th of April, 1864.
The capture was made by the Montgomery
True Blues of Alabama, and as the ex-Con-
federates have no motive for keeping it, they
send it back to its original owners.
